A Guide to Delta-10 – What You Need to Know

In recent years, cannabinoids and compounds have been a hot topic – even more so since it has become legal in several states across the United States to consume and use cannabinoid products.

You may be familiar with Delta-8 and even Delta-9 products, but what about Delta-10? If you haven’t heard of this synthetic isomer, then let us enlighten you. Read on to learn more about Delta-10 THC and what it could mean for you.

 

What is Delta-10?

Like Delta-8 and Delta-9, Delta-10 is a compound from the cannabis plant and a synthetic isomer of tetrahydrocannabinol. Unlike other cannabis compounds, though, it’s incredibly hard to extract from cannabis or hemp.

Knowing how elusive it is, you may wonder how it was discovered in the first place. Surprisingly, it was by complete accident.

California cannabis company Fusion Farms purchased outdoor cannabis to produce concentrates. At that time, wildfires were raging in California, and the company ended up buying cannabis biomass that had been contaminated with a fire retardant.

Once they extracted the biomass and distilled its extract, they noticed unique crystals in the distillate. Tests showed that those crystals were CBD, but they were different from other crystals they had seen before.

A licensed testing lab compared data from other known cannabinoids and couldn’t find a match. It took several months to learn that Delta-10 had been formed purely because of the presence of fire retardant.

Fortunately, utilizing and consuming Delta-10 products today doesn’t mean you will be purchasing a product with a fire retardant. Laboratories are able to reproduce it without such toxins.

 

How Does Delta-10 Compare to Other Cannabinoids?

If you have been enjoying CBD and THC products like gummies for some time, you may be wondering how they stack up to anything produced with Delta-10. Because it’s in its infancy, there’s no certainty around how one product will affect you more than the other.

In saying that, animal studies show that the high from Delta-10 is not as strong as that of Delta-9 THC. Many people have been able to note other differences for themselves.

Delta-9 tends to impact how we think, remember, and experience pleasure. In contrast, Delta-8 has a lower potency, and people report feeling relaxed with a more active appetite.

Comparing Delta-9 and Delta-8 to Delta-10, you may notice that its effects are pretty mild. It may be more likely to assist with daily activities like energy, alertness, and creativity – without side effects like paranoia and anxiety. Whereas Delta-8 is more likely to be used at night time for sleep.

 

Is Delta-10 THC Legal?

At a federal level, Delta-10 is illegal to extract from cannabis. However, if it is derived from cannabis in an area or state where cannabis is legal, then its isomers are legal. That’s the case in Texas.

What’s more, if you are extracting Delta-10 from hemp with under 0.3% of THC, it’s legal in this instance, as well.

 

How Can You Buy Delta-10?

The more widespread the usage of Delta-10 becomes, the more products that will be made featuring it. Currently, the most popular way to buy it is in distillate form. However, it’s only a matter of time before it will be available in oils, vape oils, lotions, creams, and edibles like gummies.

 

How Much Delta-10 THC Should You Take?

Even though Delta-10 is a relatively new player to the game, that doesn’t mean experts don’t know the most suitable dosages for best effect. However, it’s important to note that your body size can play a huge role in just how many milligrams you take.

If you weigh between 86 pounds and 150 pounds, a 12-18mg dosage may be suitable for you. Around 12mg is considered a high dosage, 15mg is mild, and 18mg is high. Between 151 pounds and 240 pounds, 18mg is a low dosage, 22mg a mild dosage, and 27mg high. Anyone weighing over 240 pounds may see the value in a dosage varying between 22.5mg and 45mg.

 

Is Delta-10 Right For You?
